The Top Summer Concert Series in the Bay Area

Bay Area wineries and parks become prime destinations for live music in the summertime. Here are some of our favorite spots that combine great music, fresh air and (often) wine in beautiful natural settings, from downtown San Francisco to Saratoga.

Green Music Center: Renowned jazz and contemporary artists play at this Sonoma venue throughout the summer.

Montalvo Center for the Arts Summer Concert Series: This historic Saratoga venue features diverse musical acts throughout the summer.

The Concerts at Wente Vineyards: This Livermore winery has offered music under the stars—and big names like Diana Ross and Lynyrd Skynyrd—for 30 years.

Golden Gate Park Band: Sundays in Golden Gate Park are bustling with show tunes, concert bands and opera—all free public concerts during the summer months.
